A Closer Look
HP may have their name on this memory, but again I must remind you that it’s really created by BIWIN, and boy, do they know how to make a good memory kit! “This flagship HP memory module offers quality inside and out” reads the official blurb, and first impressions hold them true to their word. Those huge aluminium alloy heat sinks look stunning, but should also do a fine job of dissipating any unwanted heat.
The high-quality 10-layer PCB board is robust and should provide a more stable signal transmission. There are 15μm gold-plated contacts, which improves the oxidation resistance and adds a more stable connection. Plus, the PCB is finished in a nice black too. Albeit, all of this is fairly commonplace on good memory kits these days, it’s still always welcome.
HP V10 uses the much loved Samsung B-Die ICs, which we all know to be great components and typically found in the best memory kits. Overall, it should mean great performance and good overclocking capabilities too.
The HP V10 DRAM supports Intel XMP 2.0 one-click overclocking with preset overclocking profiles, of course, you can also use custom settings if you’re experienced in memory overclocking too. The profiles should work just fine on most AMD platforms too, of course.
The badges look stunning, with a milled aluminium finish that’s matte, but also a little reflective.
As you can, it just catches the light in the texture of the metal.
There’s more bare metal on the sides, complemented by some black aluminium that gives it a slick two-tone look.
It certainly looks the part and should match up with most PC builds aesthetics easily enough.
There are 8 independent lighting areas here, running down the full spine of each DIMM. Of course, this gives you a full 16 million colours, and 10+ lighting controls, ensuring you can always get the colour or effect you so desire.
The memory supports ASUS Aura, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light and ASRock Polychrome Sync software to sync with RGB system lighting. However, I’m sure most other brands will work fine, it’s likely they just haven’t tested them all.
